We present initial results from an archival study of Chandra
ACIS observations of normal and starburst galaxies contained
within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1 area. Our
goals are to measure the X-ray emission properties of
galaxies at z=0.1, and to compare X-ray measures of star
formation with optical spectroscopic diagnostics. The
initial results focus on the ~100 galaxies with
Chandra detections. Their X-ray luminosities are typically
<1041 erg s-1 and their X-ray colors are generally
consistent with star formation (i.e., X-ray binaries and hot
gas). We also comment on the prevalence of higher-luminosity
"X-ray Bright, Optically Normal Galaxies" (XBONGS) within
the SDSS population. These XBONGS are accreting supermassive
black holes which lack AGN spectroscopic features in the
host galaxy spectra.
